Have an English document you need to use in Vietnam, or a Vietnamese document you need in the U.S.? VietVisas provides accurate certified English–Vietnamese translation and notarization — the crucial final step for your documents to be accepted.
What is certified translation & notarization?
It's a translation with attestation and notarization, valid for administrative, civil-status, and legal procedures. Unlike a regular translation, a certified translation is accepted by authorities in Vietnam (and the U.S.).
Where it fits in the certification chain
For U.S.-issued documents used in Vietnam, translation is almost always the final step — translate last and the translation covers the certification stamps too, so it doesn't have to be redone.
Since 11 September 2026, your document follows one of two processes before translation:
- Apostille route: notarization (if needed) → apostille → translation.
- Consular legalization route: notarization (if needed) → state authentication → consular legalization → translation.
Either way, translate once every stamp is in place. Not sure which route your document takes? See apostille and consular legalization.
Learn the whole process: Consular legalization — what you need to know before returning to Vietnam.
Documents that usually need certified translation
- Birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce documents.
- Diplomas, transcripts, certificates.
- Criminal background checks.
- Powers of attorney, contracts, other legal documents.

Frequently asked questions
- How is certified translation different from a regular translation?
- A certified translation comes with the translator's/agency's attestation and notarization, accepted by authorities in Vietnam. A regular translation has no legal standing for official procedures.
- Should I translate before or after the apostille or legalization?
- After. Translation is the last step — after the apostille, or after consular legalization if your document takes that route — so the translation covers the certification stamps too. Translating first usually means translating twice. VietVisas advises the correct order per document.
- Which documents usually need certified translation?
- Birth, marriage, divorce, diplomas/transcripts, background checks, powers of attorney, contracts, and many other documents used in Vietnam.
- Can the translation be used right away in Vietnam?
- Yes. VietVisas's certified translations are prepared to the correct standard for administrative, civil-status, and legal procedures in Vietnam.
